The FAQ

Why should I book the longer session?

The full session gives us more time to get you comfortable and do some different + fun poses, which leads to more variety in your photos in the end. Of course, more time spent taking photos, means I have more photos to deliver to you. So if you're a photo junky like me you'll want the longer session. If we are at a location with a lot of pretty areas the longer length also allows us to utilize a lot of different scenic options too!

What is "documentary style"?

To me, documentary style means less from me, and more from you. What I mean by this is during your session I will guide you with prompts that invite you to be yourself and create candid moments naturally. There are some sessions where I need only give a few suggestions, others I guide more frequently to create images that are true to life and don't feel strictly posed.

Do you travel?

I LOVE to travel. Unfortunately, due to my full-time job as a nurse, I cannot commit to traveling outside of New England for a session. I am based in CT and willing to drive to the surrounding states for our session together, though!

How long have you been doing this?

Long story short, I got my first camera and started messing around with photography when I was in sixth grade. Going all-in and actually being good at this I'd say since 2019 lol. Then I officially turned by hobby into a business in 2023!

How do we get our photos?

You will receive a link to your gallery which can be shared with any amount of people. You will also get a download pin that can be used any amount of times to download your gallery.

Do you retouch photos?

Yes! Every image you receive has been carefully edited to match the feelings I want to evoke from your photos. No two sessions are edited the same since I tailer my editing to each session.

What's your turn around time?

For any session I promise a return of a full gallery within four to six weeks. However, I take on a limited amount of sessions to allow my turn around time to often be much quicker. Taking my time means pouring my all into every gallery I edit.

How do we book you?

You can fill out the contact form on this website, give me all the details, and after we talk and plan your perfect shoot, I send you a contract. Once the contract is signed and the 50% retainer is paid you are officially in my books!

Can you help us with planning?

Heck yes! From choosing the day, to the location, outfits, and everything in between I am here to help and guide you in any way I can!

How far out do you book?

I typically book one to two months in advance. I always say it is better to reach out sooner rather than later. I take on limited sessions due to having a second job and wanting time spent with family so available dates can book rather quickly!

What should we wear?

I always say to wear whatever you're comfortable in. We want these photos to be true to you so don't go buying some outfit you're never going to wear again. Neutrals and solid colors are often best. Accessories can be fun too like cute coats, hats, etc. If you want more options when it comes to sitting, or fun playful options, pants or long dresses are better!

What if there is bad weather?

Depending on the weather, we have a few options! Rain or snow can be really beautiful and romantic for photos. As long as it isn't a full on storm I'm still down to take photos. If weather gets in our way, we just reschedule our shoot for another day that works for both of us! Your initial retainer will just transfer to the new date.

Do you send RAWs?

Unfortunately, no I do not. I have an editing style that I have perfected over time and this is what makes my work special. You can trust that I go through all your photos and send you all the best and edit them to stick with my brand.

What is your style of photography?

I always say I want my photos to make you feel like you're curled up on a couch, reminiscing with grandma about her "good old days" while flipping through a photo album... except it's not your grandma, it's you. And its not just "the good old days", it's your life in the present moment. I want every photograph to feel nostalgic; like an old, cherished memory. Every session is slow, focused on you, true to life, and spilling over with laughter, love and joy.

Do you offer any discounts?

Currently I have my own version of a "loyalty program" where you book 4 sessions and get a 5th 15-minute session for free. I also always offer a referral discount for 15% off to the referred and the person who suggested me. So, I encourage you to brag about your photos to your friends if you love them! ;) just mention who sent you my way in the inquiry process to receive the discount.

Do you use AI in your business?

I will admit I occassionally use chat GPT to help my captions sound nice on instagram and the service I use to choose what images to edit rates photos using AI. However, I personally scroll through every photo to manually choose which I feel should be included in your album and every photo is hand-edited by me, and me alone!
